Hello,
I'm typesetting a bibliography with some Chinese books that have
both the English translation and the original title in Chinese
ideograms.
The Chinese titles contain both full-width commas (U+FF0C) and
ordinary commas (U+002C), followed by spaces.
Full-width comma has a wide glyph that incorporates some space on
the right side; I read on Wikipedia it's a mistake putting a space
after it.
THE PROBLEM
ConTeXt does not break a line after a full-width comma (even inside
a "{\cn ... }" group), while it does with an ordinary comma,
followed by a space.
When there are only full-width commas, sometimes I'll get overfull
boxes, because ConTeXt finds no feasible breakpoints.
I'm tempted to replace all the full-width commas with ordinary
commas followed by a space. Is it possible, or is it a mistake?
Or, how do I tell ConTeXt that breaks can occur after full-width
commas?
Use \setscript[hanzi] to enable linebreaking for chinese.
Wolfgang
Thank you, Wolfgang!
It works!
Since I'm typesetting mixed-languages text (mainly Italian, with some
English, French and German), should I limit the \setscript[hanzi] to
the Chinese spans of text, or can I set it for the whole bibliography
containing Chinese titles? It looks like the latter is true (and
simpler, of course).
I would limit it to chinese because it can mess up spacing for
puntuation for the other languages.
You add the setting to the language switch with the following method:
\startsetups [chinese]
\setscript[hanzi]
\stopsetups
\setuplanguage [cn] [setups=chinese]
